PolyCube

Adds a single polyhedron of varied width, height, and length - a cube when sides are equal.

 

How to use

1. Click the PolyCube icon or choose the Tools > Primitives > Polygonal Volumetric > PolyCube command.

 

2. The program console prompts Local axes origin.

 

3. Position the cube local axes either by clicking and dragging in any view (release the mouse button to confirm placement) or by typing its XYZ coordinates in the console. Values must be separated by a space or a comma, i.e. 1 2 3 or 1,2,3, and confirmed by pressing Enter. If you press Enter. without typing any value, the axes origin of the plane will be placed in correspondence with the XYZ origin.

 

4. The program console prompts Vertex #7.

 

5. Define the position of the vertex opposite to the local axes by either clicking and agging the Vertex hotSpot or by typing the cube dimensions in the console. If you press Enter without typing any value, a cube of Width 1, Thickness 1, and Height 1 will be created.
